Because Evolutionism has become our official state religion, which is a violation of the First Amendment.
You are correct, Evolutionism is a religion. It's supporters promote it as science, but if it were in fact science, nobody would be complaining about it. It is an alternate religious belief about our origins.
Science can only reflect on what can be observed. When a speculation becomes an object of faith (like evolution), and when it is dogmatically defended, it becomes a religion.
Science does not create its own evidence. Over the last hundred years, many "proofs" of evolution have been introduced. One by one, they have been shown to be frauds. Science doesn't resort to this because science is the search for truth.
There is no conflict between science and the Bible. The problem is between the religion of Evolutionism and the Bible.

Evolution is NOT a " cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith". It is a generally accepted, peer reviewed scientific theory backed up with plenty of physical and empirical evidence.
Perhaps if you had spent more time at one of those "tax funded operations" you may have learned a little about it.

Evolution is not a religion, it's scientific, and
Evolution is scientific, pretty much proven.

no, evolution is not a religion. The difference between science and religion is that sceince is based on reality, and religion is based on fairy tales.
Fairy tales really arent worth teaching in schools, which are meant to prepare people for the real world.

You should stick with religion, where meaningless statements like god is truth cannot be challenged. Here, you are treading outside of the realm of the tooth fairy, and your statement can be challenged. You obviously have no idea what religion is or what evolution is, so go back where you came from and preach god stuff.

Creationism is purely Christian. There are many religions in this country and the members of those religions all pay taxes. This is NOT a theocracy and Christianity is not the only religion. Religion belongs in church. Science belongs in Science class.

Faith is the belief without proof. Evolution has mounds of proof. ergo evolution is not a religion.

But, religion has no proof. Evolution has things supporting and backing it up.

evolution is held as scientific theory. Not a belief.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Maybe you should research evolution and learn about the scientific method before you make such ignorant statements.
